This is delicious and hearty bean dish. I decreased the amount of brown sugar to 1/2 cup & the vinegar to 2 Tablespoons and added a can of black beans to the mixture. By decreasing the sugar the falvor of the beans come through. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because of the alterations I made.

This is simple & delicious! Of course I changed a few things. I like more spice so I added 2 cloves garlic when sauteeing the veggies, 1/2 teaspoon celery salt, 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning & lots of black pepper. I didn't have any vegetable broth so I used an envelope of dry vegetable soup mix & added 2 cups of water. Since I had left over turkey from Thanksgiving I used that instead of chicken & I also had left over rice so used rice instead of noodles. Tossed in a handful of peas & served with some hot rolls & a salad. It was great for a snowy winter night in Iowa.

I added 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Wow! Sweet and spicey and crispy chewy. Wonderful. 4.5 stars.
